Heat with Hair Dryer then Use Oil/Solvent for Residue

Description

Applying heat softens the adhesive for easier peeling, and oil or solvents dissolve the remaining sticky goo.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Heat Sticker: Warm the sticker and surrounding area with a hair dryer on a low or medium setting for about 30-60 seconds. Keep the dryer moving.
2. Peel Gently: While the sticker is warm, try peeling it off slowly, starting from a corner. A plastic scraper or fingernail can help lift the edge. Reheat as needed if it starts to tear or resist.
3. Remove Residue: If sticky residue remains, apply a small amount of cooking oil, olive oil, peanut butter, or mayonnaise directly onto it. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to break down the adhesive. Then, scrub gently with a cloth or paper towel. Alternatively, use rubbing alcohol, white vinegar, or a commercial adhesive remover (like Goo Gone) on a cloth, testing first in an inconspicuous area.
4. Clean Surface: Once residue is gone, clean the surface with soapy water or an appropriate cleaner to remove any oil or solvent traces.
